Glendronach’s
most southerly tasting…
In deepest
Antarctica!
The richly-sherried GlenDronach single
malt is savoured worldwide but, in what
must be some kind of a record, we’ve
just heard of some fervent American
fans…at the South Pole!
Thanks to GlenDronach’s New Zealand
agents Whisky Galore, a team of intrepid
American scientists survive sub-zero
temperatures down there thanks to some
invigorating bottles of GlenDronach
15 year old.
Whisky Galore’s owner Michael Fraser
Milne explains: “The United States
Antarctic Programme (USAP) is an
organisation that heads up scientific
research and support on Antarctica. For
many years, Whisky Galore has been a
proud supporter of the scientists and
crew who fly down to the ice from
Christchurch where we’re based.
“We like to make sure they're staying
warm with a good dram or two, and the
'ice people' as we know them are very
loyal fans of Whisky Galore.
“Last year we suggested to a group of
them that whoever sends us the best
whisky-related photo from Antarctica
will win a prize, and they certainly
didn't disappoint. Pictures flooded in
and the winner was one of our regular
USAP customers, Thomas Da Cosse, whose
pictures were our favourites.”
Michael’s colleague Stephen Le Petit
added: “Thomas tasted some GlenDronach
in our shop and absolutely loved it.
It’s now his favourite and, as his
pictures show, they help him endure
temperatures of minus ninety degrees
Fahrenheit.”
GlenDronach Regional Sales Director
James Cowan said: “GlenDronach is
enjoyed in some pretty exotic places but
the South Pole is surely a world first
for us. As a result, we’re claiming the
record for the most southerly tasting of
GlenDronach ever!”
Michael is the proud owner of Whisky
Galore, New Zealand's premier whisky
supplier. He is originally from the
Strathspey area of Scotland and has been
involved with whisky for most of his
life.
